Amazing stay on the water!

This home is beautiful and relaxing and we had a wonderful time on the patio by the fire watching the otters every evening. The house is walkable to the aquarium and the heart of Monterrey. Jane is an amazing host and very helpful and responsive. The pictures are exactly as described and we will definitely stay here again when in the area.

This is our second time to stay in this lovely home. You will not be disappointed ! Jane and her husband wonderful hosts who went above and beyond the call of duty when I lost a piece of jewelry deep beneath a crevice in floorboard. It was quite an undertaking to retrieve it for which I’m very thankful!

Perfect spot!

We loved this house! Great views of the bay and wildlife-otters and seals everyday plus birds and whales! The house was so clean and very quiet-the best sleep of our vacation! Jane was extremely helpful and flexible. Their home is an 8 minute walk to restaurants or the aquarium. Neighborhood is very quiet and parking is easy! We’d definitely stay again!

Special Spot Near Lover's Point

We've stayed in this area numerous times, and this property is VERY special. We watched whales right from our beautiful terrace and enjoyed the short walk to Lover's Point. The property was beyond clean and the owner left lovely gift basket on our arrival (not to mention extra binoculars for whale watching). We hope to return again to this little slice of heaven.

Best location and amazing views

You can’t beat the location and views from this perfect house. Beds are comfortable and the place was spotlessly clean. We sat outside and watched dolphins, otters, and seals in the water. Walkable to restaurants and the aquarium. We loved it and would return again.
